Music For The Global Traveler

At the start of this past summer I wrote about “Six Songs That Remind Me To Go Home.” While I love to make my way home, a song I have recently started listening to a song that reminds me, in part, why I like to pack my cameras and head out and circle The Globe.

Alanis Morissette’s “Citizen Of The Planet” is a great motivator to get up and travel. The message of the song sets visions into motion that should inspire you to not only start searching for your next flights, but also understand that as a human race we are ‘one people.’ We rise and fall together as a collective society.

Certain lines in the song are all to familiar for me, but I’ll let you decide if the song motivates you the way it motivates me.

About Me

Fish has been covering aviation and transportation security issues since September 15, 2001, after walking away from Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan following four days of documenting the worst aviation security disaster in history.

Having spent more than a decade-and-a-half as a full-time photojournalist, Fish now divides his time between building social media and social commerce strategies and solutions for global travel brands, along with researching aviation and transportation security.

Growing up at the end up New York's JFK International Airport's Runway 4R/22L probably explains Fish’s enjoyment of watching planes fly overhead. When not working or shooting photos, Fish can be found playing with (and cleaning up after) his three kids, chasing his dogs, standing in the kitchen cooking, monitoring radios public safety and federal radios and of course cheering for the Red Sox.

You can find Fish on Twitter at @flyingwithfish …and … join Fish every Thursday at 3:30pm EST as he hosts the weekly #TNI #Travel Chat on Twitter.
